Well, if you have CMF installed, create a CMF site. Staging is kind of automatic. They submit documents, and the submitted documents can be reviewed. What more do you want than that? The version control is kind of built in with the 'undo' support... Look at ${portal_url}/undo_form in your CMF site. If you want submitted documents to first be published on a sort of "accessible only to logged in users" you can create a new workflow state called "staging", and put it in as a state before being published. Workflows are editable under "portal_workflow" of your CMF site. You might need to add a new workflow. Any 'web configurable' workflow should do.

While the documentation is great I'm having trouble tracking down some pointers to the following: 1. Setting up some type of version control. I've installed ZopeVersionControl from http://cvs.zope.org/Products/ZopeVersionControl but can't figure out how to use it (it is installed as a product). The help files not finished. 2. Workflows - I need to implement workflows for editing approvals etc. 3. Setting up a staging area and then publishing to a live version. I read something about Zope "versions" and I read somewhere to stay away from them. I tried versions but again I had trouble getting them to work. Is a staging -> live setup possible? Is there a better alternative? I've installed the CMF (1.4.2). I've even looked at Plone (after dropping down to CMF 1.3.3) but I don't want a portal setup, I'd like just a basic site which has version control, workflows and a type of staging/live arrangement. I've installed the LDAPUserFolder product to control access to parts of the site as well as managing it. Can anyone point me to some information.
